Chris's Fish Bar in Colchester

After tonight's experience I wish there was a negative star, cold food, brown chips and rude staff!

Had a lovely price of rock and chips well cooked tasty thank you so often when you try somewhere new it's disappointing not here!

I love a bit of savloy and chips

Good food but not there best I'm sorry to say

Lovely lunchtime treat of cod and chips. Yum!

Lovely chips and family absolutely love the cod

Expensive soggy fish and small chip portions. £11.50 for large cod which was more like medium but batter was really soggy and seemed undercooked. Medium chips were more like small, all for a whopping cost. They got two stars are staff were polite. I’ll go back to the chip shop down the road which was sadly closed tonight.

1st tune going here for me. Wow. Has to be the best chicken burger and chips I've eaten. Our group thoroughly enjoyed theirs too. I do believe they are no open every day. So check not to be disappointed. Can't wait to go back again. Lovely staff too and service was fast

Without a doubt the best fish and chips around. In fact their entire menu is top notch. They cater for everyone, even my gluten free husband. All the food is fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Was unfortunate enough to find bills plaice closed,so reluctantly tried this establishment. Appalling,..soggy chips,barely warm sausages,and a slightly upset stomach the following day...won't be returning

Everything was undercooked, honestly the worst food ive ever paid for. Would rather have spent £20 on beans on toast.

Best fish and chips in tiptree. very friendly staff.

Fantastic fish and chips!! Perfect batter every time! My favourite. Other half always has a chicken burger, which is massive and yummy. One of our favourite places to get a take away

Good Friendly Service. Very fast freshly cooked fish. Thank You👍🏼

Only offers gluten free on 'first Tuesday of the month'

Lovely staff great food and service

Not to bad, battered sausage kept alive for hours under hot lights as batter shattered as soon as cut into it, fish batter slightly better but nothing to write home about. All in all average food, learn how to make batter guys , should be huge bubbley crispy not flat

My husband had just finished a 10 hour shift of hard graft and myself 5 hours. Really wanted fish and chips. He found this fish bar on the way home. I was completely shocked to see my fish in a thin lank batter that looked like the one I bought from Iceland. My husband's was crispy, so obviously mine had been sitting for a very long time as the fish was dry too. Chips were okay. Curry sauce was very vinegary, and had lumps in it. In complete honesty, I only ate mine because I was really hungry and nothing I could do about it as 10 miles away. £25 for 3 chips, sausage, 2 cod and curry sauce. Would usually say it's a bargain, but if you specifically go to a fish and chip shop, then you should get the best fish and chips. Hence why I didn't buy it from Iceland. I know and appreciate costings have gone up, that's not my issue here, it's the lack of decent freshly cooked fish. Will never use again. Pretty gutted to be honest.

Always enjoy chips from here. Consistent and friendly service. Good prices.

Great plaice and chips and a good place to get them, well done all the team

Great food, well above average. Still great 2 years later.

Takes cards and cash, nice food and great service

Consistently high quality fish and chips from this friendly outlet in Tiptree. Have used them for many years, and they are always good. Sometimes so popular that there is a queue out of the door. Standard fish and chip menu. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We enjoy the lunch time deals. The staff allways happy and friendly.

Nice fish and chips price was a bit high though

Nice big portions of chip's, I went in just before closing and ordered a small portion and what I got was a medium portion at a small price. Great value, they are always polite even at the end of the day and they want to go home. Nothing is to much trouble, definitely the PLACE to go for great fish and chips 🍟

Ordered burger and chips, sausage and chips, chicken pie and chips and a portion of chips. Unfortunately I live too far away to go back but got home, no burger, chips looked as though they had been cooked at least five times, sausage was also overcooked. Sorry to say won't be going back.

Lovely fish and chips and more, friendly staff

I ordered a small cod and a portion of chips, I asked if they could be wrapped separately which they said they would do. When I picked them up I checked with the girl who said sorry there not separate, I explained that I was a vegetarian and wouldn't eat the chips, the young girl then unwrapped them and took the fish out and rewrapped the same chips and the cod separately and handed them to me. I have now paid for chips which went straight in the bin. Very annoying.

It's a nice fish bar had better and a lot worse xx

Best fish and chips in Tiptree and surrounding areas. A good tip is to phone in your order and collect.

Got fish n chips for the family, first off, absolutely shocked at the prices. £3.50 for a 'large chips' (doesn't look very large in the photo does it) and I got myself some cod bites and a battered sausage. 'Cod bites' were absolutely disgusting tiny salty pieces of tough fish. They went straight in the bin. The sausage was ok, but it is honestly disgusting what they charge for fish n chips. Only reason they can is the owner and his brother (bills plaice) have got a monopoly on fish n chips in tiptree. If you're reading this, do yourself a favour and drive to maldon/heybridge to get some. Far better in everyway.

Excellent fish and chips from Chris' again, they know how to look after their customers. The Cod was light and fluffy and tasted great, their Cheeseburgers are the best in Tiptree and the kids loved the Savaloy and Battered Sausage. Can thoroughly recommend.

It's the best fish & chips ever

Shocking timing. Been twice recently and waited longer than told for food. 15 mins fir a bag of chips when the shop is empty... was told a couple of mins... come on !

Great food, friendly staff, felt very safe buying my good from there ⭐

Fast service food is always lovely

I went to Chris Fish Bar tonight and was my first time eating from there. The young girl who served me was very friendly and welcoming. I didnt have to wait long for my order and when i got home the portions was massive and delicious. I will definatly be going back to Chris Fish bar.

Good variety of not only the best fish and chips etc but lovely curries made to order and you can collect your order at the time would Iike .

Yeah. This place the big bad

Love the fish here so delicious. Everyone so friendly too. Just beats the other one in the village 😀

Great fish and chips in my area, feels safe in the shop, although there was a man without a face covering and on his phone.

Great chips and the chicken burger i had was massive. I could barely open my mouth wide enough to get it in! Not over priced either! Recommended

Fish & chips the way it ment to be.

Best cooked fish and chips in Tiptree

Fresh Food, Good Size Portion & Friendly

Not as nice as the one up the road.

Really friendly staff and lovely fish.

Prices and portion sizes are decent, service was given with a smile. But chips were VERY undercooked, was not informed that curry sauce contained meat, ended up throwing more than half away. Shame. I also paid more as I wanted to pay on card (as is advised right now), but they wouldn't let me order on card under £5.. do you not want any business? Once this place catches up with the rest of us, it'll be fantastic.

Always banging food! The 'Chicken in a Bun' is ridiculous! 🤤

Always good service and quality and tasty

Very friendly and quick to serve

Soggy nasty chips and the strangest curry sauce I've ever tasted. Fish was surprisingly ok compared to the rest! Asked for a butty and got a burger bun? Won't be going back!

Quick service, great food, friendly staff, good prices too

Excellent food. Best in the area

Really great fish and chips. Crispy batter and not greasy. Chips tasted great too. Staff were friendly and polite.
